Windows support?

Open KillyMXI opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I see a use for this tool and was going to give it a try, to only discover there is currently no release for the OS I use.

Any plans to provide Windows releases? Any roadblocks?

Thanks for the interest! Unfortunately native support for Windows is difficult due to the library dependencies and assumptions on a Unix-like file system (that's the first immediate roadblock that comes to mind).

Although I have not had personal experience trying on Windows yet, the Docker image may work? The other possibility that comes to mind is using the Linux Subsystem for Windows. If you decide to give these options a try, I'd be happy to learn how that goes and see if there are any issues.

You can try using WSL, the ubuntu distro works well for me.
